Most vital among the natural resources of our blue<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>planet is the Biodiversity Wealth. But current UN reports (2010, 2014) revealed that all is not well. There are<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>global objectives and mandates on biodiversity, climate change and sustainable developments which the member<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>nations still need to build up capacity for effective implementation at national and regional level. Among the<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>significant global mandates, Convention on Biological Diversity (1992) and its supplementary agreements such<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>as World Summits on Sustainable Development (Rio+10 Summit) at Johanesburg-2002; Nagoya Protocol (2010)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) and the Aichi Targets (2010) are among the path breaking global<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>agreements periodically reviewed in every meeting of Conference of Parties to CBD to which each of the member<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>nations need to implements in both letter and spirit if current rate of biodiversity loss has to be reversed. The<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Aichi Biodiversity Targets 2020 is ten-year framework for action by all countries and stakeholders to save<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>biodiversity and enhance its benefits for people. UN Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (2014) has<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>observed changes and causes in Global Climate which calls for urgent mitigation measures.Consensus action<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>plan is urgently required at regional and global level tocounter climate change impact on biodiversity, ecosystem<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>and livelihood sectors. As per CBD report (2014), global forest and biodiversity losses are increasing in alarming<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>rate while there is a drastic lacking in basic taxonomic research and information system on many unknown<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>biological taxa which need to be strengthened further. There is an urgent need for effective south-south and<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>north-south cooperation for intensification of systematic biological research on different life forms which are yet<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>to be catalogued in scientific literatures. Biodiversity baseline studies is expected to help in developing tools for<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>effective conservation and sustainable utilization of those species living in some of the most critical ecosystem of<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>earth.

Most vital among the natural resources of our blue planet is the Biodiversity Wealth. But current UN reports (2010, 2014) revealed that all is not well. There are global objectives and mandates on biodiversity, climate change and sustainable developments which the member nations still need to build up capacity for effective implementation at national and regional level. Among the significant global mandates, Convention on Biological Diversity (1992) and its supplementary agreements such as World Summits on Sustainable Development (Rio+10 Summit) at Johanesburg-2002; Nagoya Protocol (2010) on Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) and the Aichi Targets (2010) are among the path breaking global agreements periodically reviewed in every meeting of Conference of Parties to CBD to which each of the member nations need to implements in both letter and spirit if current rate of biodiversity loss has to be reversed. The Aichi Biodiversity Targets 2020 is ten-year framework for action by all countries and stakeholders to save biodiversity and enhance its benefits for people. UN Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (2014) has observed changes and causes in Global Climate which calls for urgent mitigation measures.Consensus action plan is urgently required at regional and global level tocounter climate change impact on biodiversity, ecosystem and livelihood sectors. As per CBD report (2014), global forest and biodiversity losses are increasing in alarming rate while there is a drastic lacking in basic taxonomic research and information system on many unknown biological taxa which need to be strengthened further. There is an urgent need for effective south-south and north-south cooperation for intensification of systematic biological research on different life forms which are yet to be catalogued in scientific literatures. Biodiversity baseline studies is expected to help in developing tools for effective conservation and sustainable utilization of those species living in some of the most critical ecosystem of earth. The State of Arunachal Pradesh, the proud East Himalayan Indian State being the top 12 Global Biodiversity Hotspots suitably deserves to host the upcoming mega event at Rajiv Gandhi University, Rono Hills, Doimukh-791112, Itanagar, wherein the researchers and global think tank working in the area of Biodiversity, Climate Change and Sustainable Development are cordially invited to present their papers in technical session and to take active participation in side events.
